XPS 8500 No boot device available
I have an XPS8500 which ran out of warranty about 8 months ago. in the last 6 months it has been getting hard to start and now all of a sudden I get the following message when trying to start ;
No boot device available.
Strike the F1 key to retry boot, F2 to run the Setup utility.
SATA 0: Installed
SATA 1: Installed
SATA 2: None
SATA 3: None
MSATA 1: Installed.
Striking the F1 key just makes it restart and show the same screen. I have done diagnostics by hitting the f12 key and it showed no errors.
I cannot boot from disk as os factory installed in system.
Any help is appreciated

Unfortunately I have not heard back from Ravi.
Does anyone know how you can access windows to reinstall or repair when it is preinstalled on the pc ?
